Jauh Di Mata, Dekat Di Kuping

Dari rumah di Bojongkoneng, Bandung, handphone saya lapor pernah menggunakan BTS-BTS dibawah ini.



Bahkan rekor terjauh adalah 32 km ketika BTS Nagreg tercatat di layar. Jadi, pelacakan posisi orang berdasarkan BTS yang diaksesnya apakah masih efektif?

Rasanya, posisi rumah saya yang cukup tinggi di perbukitanlah yang memungkinkan hal di atas terjadi.

ps: Terima kasih untuk Ogun yang telah menyiapkan penyajian di atas peta yang sangat komunikatif.

Happy Valentine, Roy!

Internet, 14 Februari 2005

Hooray, First Confluence Visit, At Last

After so long dreaming of visiting one of so many confluence points in Indonesia, at last we have time to do it. For a start, we choose nearest CP from Bandung, at 108^o East, 7^o South. GPS display never stays long enough on exact zero because the place is under a rather thick bamboo leaves, and our GPS is quite old (see those dead LCD pixels?).

This journey is rather surprising for us, because we have read previous visit to this place which seems not so easy. But very fortunately, we have a guide, Mr. Ahmad, who lives nearby, and quite familiar with surrounding villages. So we ask him to give directions based on our rather complete 1:25.000 map which shows every village names around. The result is: we have to walk only around 10 minutes from our car park location to this confluence point. Actually, if we brave enough to bring our cars further, then we will reach a point very, very near CP: around 40 m. But then, there will be no fun left.



Celebrating our success. Front from left to right: Pona, Betha, Andika, Fajar, Waryaman, and Mr. Ahmad. Back: Rusydan and Wawan. Two of us are not shown in this picture: Abdul and Senja, who are busy taking our pictures.



And this is me, waiting for others reaching agreement whether we were close enough to confluence point, or must shift around. I felt tired, too old, and very unfit ... I wonder if we were really executing our initial plan to start walking from a point around 3 km away, crossing one (or maybe two) hill.

So, where to go next? Maybe to 107^o East, 7^o South near Sukabumi? Want to join us?

Stop Beri Uang, Beri Kami Kesempatan

Sayang telat, kampanyenya tanggal 30 November s/d 11 Desember 2004 lalu, tapi tidak basi kok.

... Secara singkat bahwa pemberian uang anda berdampak mengerikan bagi nasib si anak jalanan. Secara tidak langsung (dengan memberikan) uang tersebut anda menginvestasikan kemalasan, kebodohan, tingkat kriminalitas, masa depan suram bagi anak-anak yang anda beri. Dengan program/kampanye ini harapan kami adalah sebuah kesadaran baru untuk tidak memberikan uang secara langsung kepada anak jalanan tetapi memberikan kepada mereka “Kesempatan”...

Selama ini saya selalu berusaha menahan diri untuk tidak memberi langsung, dengan anggapan bahwa "memberi ikan" akan sia-sia, walaupun saya belum tahu cara yang tepat untuk "memberi kail". Hanya saja tidak saya duga bahwa efek negatif "memberi ikan" bisa sebegitu parah.

Looking Into A Reverse Engineering Alternative

Reading Andrew Tridgell's note about how he (and his team?) develop Samba is very amusing. He has four level of experiment, which were executed (repetitively and very patiently) over 12 years. Yes. That is more than 4000 days. I can only imagine his patience by comparing what our team have done (which only reach step 2) with his. But of course my project had only several weeks to spent.

But looking back to my "journey", we found a very crucial step in the protocol we need to emulate, hidden in the very tiny detail: just a brief initial conversation which must be done in the different form than the rest. Without that preliminary step, you can't talk at all. The machine will turn deaf, maybe laughing on your face, but refused to say anything.

This reminds me of my itch: what kind of application can we use to help us dissecting protocol? Should we take source code of Ethereal then write our own dissector? Can we do it more interactively by defining protocol structure (or format, or whatever you want to call it) in an editable window, then apply this to live data stream?

So, this could be a long-lived dream for me ...

By the way, I got that french cafe analogy from Myths About Samba by Andrew Tridgell in Groklaw, refered by Linux Today

Jangan Beli Sepatu Ini

Teman-teman di kantor telah beberapa bulan ini punya acara "olahraga" mingguan: jalan kaki. Mulai dari Jayagiri - Tangkuban Parahu, Dago Bengkok - Maribaya, Ciburial - Maribaya, dan berbagai lintasan lain yang cukup ditempuh dalam beberapa jam.

Saya termasuk jarang ikut. Pas ketika saya ikut, ceritanya sambil mencoba sepatu agak baru, ternyata kesalahan besar! Sepatu yang saya beli berlabel "Off Road". Tapi ternyata sangat licin. Saya terjatuh 3x selama perjalanan Dago Bengkok - Maribaya. Memang route yang ditempuh semi offroad, potong kompas sana sini agar tidak perlu lewat loket di THR Juanda. Akibatnya mesti menyeberang sungai. But we're having fun, much fun.

Rupanya sepatu itu dirancang untuk Trail Running (Shoes designed for off-road and all-terrain running). Tetapi kenapa licin? Apakah karena saya hanya berjalan kaki?

Padahal saya jatuh cinta pada pandangan pertama pada modelnya ... sigh.

Solaris 10 Resmi Dirilis

Sedih. Baru saja kemarin selesai download 4 buah ISO image Solaris 10 Sparc versi beta, ternyata hari ini keluar versi rilisnya. Sebenarnya kalau Sun Microsystems mau mendistribusikan file-file tersebut melalui rsync, beban jaringan akan lebih ringan dan tentu saja saya bisa memperoleh ISO image lebih cepat, karena rsync bisa mengambil bagian-bagian yang berbeda saja antara kedua versi ISO tersebut.

Tetapi ada masalah lain lagi. Sun menyediakan ISO image dalam bentuk zip. Rasanya dua buah ISO image yang hanya sedikit berbeda menjadi sangat jauh perbedaannya setelah di-zip. Sigh.

Kebiasaan "buruk" ini sama dengan perilaku IBM dalam mendistribusikan FixPak untuk DB2. Ukuran file FixPak DB2 hampir sebesar kapasitas CD. Jadi kita memang harus memiliki "modal" bandwidth besar untuk bisa selalu menikmati DB2 rilis terbaru.

Sedikit menyimpang ke Oracle: IBM masih lebih terbuka. Siapapun boleh mengambil FixPak tanpa harus mendaftar terlebih dahulu. Tetapi Oracle? Hanya user yang sudah memiliki lisensi yang bisa memperoleh program Oracle yang telah memuat bugfix terbaru. User lain hanya bisa sekedar mencicipi versi evaluasi ...

12th Wedding Anniversary

... and they are the result of our love.

We also celebrate it quietly, watching The Terminal DVD, in the middle of the night, on my nice laptop, just the two of us.

I wish we will be able to celebrate our silver wedding anniversary and more ...
